Rangers 4 Brechin 1: Hegarty, Law, Black and Shiels on target as Gers begin life in League 1 with a breeze

Rangers put off-field turmoil to one side as they cruised to a convincing 4-1 win over Brechin in their Scottish League 1 opener.

Chris Hegarty, Nicky Law, Ian Black and Dean Shiels all claimed a goal apiece at Ibrox to begin the league campaign in style despite Steven Jackson pulling a goal back for the visitors.

It was a far more convincing display than Rangers' last meeting with Brechin, when they needed extra-time to secure victory in what was their first game since liquidation and being dumped in Scottish football's bottom tier last year.
